Welcome to a city of wondrous contrasts – a unique destination of ancient temples, modern malls, tropical parks and so much more…

Singapore is the ultimate city break, offering a taste of Asia in a clean, modern and safe environment. Whether you’re in the city-state for just a few hours or can spend a week exploring, you’re guaranteed to be seduced by the vibrant colours, world-class accommodation, delicious food and awe-inspriring views. Life here moves at a bit more of a ‘tropical’ pace than that of its neighbours Japan and China, but still offers plenty of buzz and excitement for visitors of all ages.

Singapore has a reputation for being a rather boring country with too many rules and too little fun. This is a huge misconception: you can do pretty much whatever you want in Singapore. Many of the strict rules that were in place 30 years ago have been relaxed as the city has been transformed from a sleepy village community to a bustling international business centre. As for the things you’re not allowed to do – well, you probably shouldn’t be doing them anyway. Common sense is the best thing you can take with you.

The mix of modern and traditional results in a huge variety of activities to keep you busy; from staggering malls to boat charters, you’ll have no problems filling your days and the restaurants, clubs and bar scene mean the evenings will be action-packed too. But, if you’re looking for a relaxing retreat then you’ve come to right place too. The huge emphasis Singaporeans place on well-being means you’ll find an amazing range of spas just waiting to pamper you into a state of bliss.
